The date is about right for the bui9lding of the ship, but I would be amazed if there are contemporary plans on which these drawings are based.

Alan - My guess is that they were copied from an old kit. That's why they're giving them away for free! It did come with a good parts list, which I thought would come in handy if I ever decided to build her from scratch.

Scratchbuilding? That is far beyond my capabilities

Ronald61 - I've only been plastic modeling for about the last 5 years and wooden ship modeling for the last 2. Three of my last 4 builds were scratch built and in many ways it gives you alot of freedom, within the parameters of the build. It's also cheaper for folx on a budget like many of us old-timers! You will find plenty of resources on SoS to follow your passions! I know I did.

Thanks! Well, who knows what the future brings. Maybe in retirement in hopefully 3,5 years

Scratch building? Coming soon to School For Ship Model Building on this forum: an easy but sophisticated build of a well known American boat type. Stay tuned!

Ok! I will look at it as soon it's there.
